	Elvis Costello - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Costello's first album for Stiff My Aim Is True (1977), was a moderate commercial success (No. 14 in the UK and Top 40 in the US) with Costello appearing on the cover in his trademark oversize glasses, bearing a striking resemblance to a [mock?] menacing Buddy Holly.
		Costello's backing on this first album was provided by American West Coast band Clover, a roots/country-ish outfit who would enjoy more success down the road after changing their name to Huey Lewis and The News.
		Costello was marketed as a new wave artist or a punk, despite the fact that the album featured the straightforward ballad "Alison" (one of his most enduring songs).

	Elvis Costello & The Attractions: This Year's Model: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Elvis Costello, more so than any other musician before or since, has managed to integrate the insight of personal music and the conviction of political music, while avoiding the self-indulgent pitfalls of both.
		To put it another way, Elvis Costello could sing a song about the oppressive and destructive state of his girlfriend and pull it off with wit and talent to spare.
		This, Elvis Costello's second album, marked the beginning of a long and illustrious collaboration with the Attractions, not to mention one of those glorious moments in which a musician discovers a sound that is all his own.

		Elvis Costello opportunistically managed to surf into the UK charts in 1978 on the New Wave of British pop that followed the punk tsunami of the preceeding 18 months.
		Slim, bespectacled, sharp-suited and quiffed, Elvis Costello (real name Declan McManus) was by now well on the way to being hailed as the best songwriter of his generation.
		Costello must still be grateful for the oversight of BBC Radio 1 producers in allowing the song to be broadcast, enabling him to achieve the enviable feat of subverting the establishment and scoring a massive hit simultaneously.

		Costello's first full-length orchestral work, conducted by Michael Tilson Thomas and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra...
		Costello's 2003 opus is a lush, orchestral affair, a collection of subtle and emotional songs with nary a guitar solo in sight.
		Costello's first solo album since 1996, this "rowdy rhythm record" is a musical bolt of lightening following the tender ballads of previous years.

	Elvis Costello & The Attractions: Armed Forces: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		It could be said that Elvis Costello had the distinct pleasure of living out the ultimate dream of every sharp-witted, incurably bitter young bastard with hopes of achieving stardom.
		With superstar status and a reputation for pushing the envelope, Costello was able to crystallize the thematic threads of political and personal devastation that ran through his first two records into the concept of "emotional fascism," the original title for Armed Forces.
		As Costello writes in the liner notes to this expanded reissue, Armed Forces marks the first time that he was actually aware of his audience.

		Elvis Costello is actually Declan McManus - son of bandleader Ross McManus (and I heartily recommend that you track down some music by McManus Senior - you can clearly hear where his son gets the voice from).
		By July, Elvis had quit his day job with Arden, assembled The Attractions as his backing band and been arrested for busking outside the Hilton Hotel in London where a CBS sales conference is in progress.

		Costello has written some of the best tunes of anyone in the entire rock era, and as a lyricist puts the lie to the considered opinions of Alan Jay Lerner, Sammy Cahn, etc., who insisted that all rock songwriters were illiterates.
		Far and away, Elvis Costello will always be the best songwriter in modern music with songs that are as hooky musically as they are in their insightful lyrics.
		Before listenin to this i was fairly familiar with Elvis Costello, through radio, the internet and what have you, and had always told myself that i would buy one of his cds when i came across one [inexpensive] enough.

	Elvis Costello & the Attractions
		The business of being Elvis (and, by design, the fierce-but-sprightly "pub rock" dynamism that is Messrs Thomas, Thomas and Nieve) has meant coming up with stories witty and urbane, matched to music crisply energetic.
		A fine goal, but this refinement of craft has led his last bunch of records to sound smarmy, over-compensatingly clever and tedious.
		Costello's twisted Cole Porter-meets-Harry Crews power to turn a phrase remains in tact, but on tunes like "Shadows" and "Atlas" it's the lyrical twists that make the most sense and are most pleasing: the exact opposite of his usual mindless chatter.

	Elvis Costello Reviews
		The debate over whether he is punk or new wave is long over; today Elvis Costello is less likely to be found on a list with Strummer and Scabies than he is with Bacharach and David and Jimmy Webb.
		The evolution of Costello's craft as a songwriter and performer, from the early high-octane polemics, through his stylistic experiments with country and soul, and on to standards written for others, is splendidly documented on this elegant two-disc set.
		The 42 tracks here lean generously to the first 10 years with the Attractions, but also collects the best of his subsequent collaborations with the cream of America's session musicians and on through to "She," his contribution to the soundtrack of 1999's Notting Hill.

		Widely regarded as one of the most respected singer/songwriters in rock and pop, Elvis Costello was instrumental in pioneering the pop video in its early days, most of which became regular viewing on MTV and other noted music television channels.
		Costello and the Attractions perform Alison, Lip Service and No Dancing on the British TV show, Granada Reports, Shipbuilding on The Tube, Oliver's Army on the Dutch TV show Countdown, and Peace in Our Time on Sweden's Mandagsboren, and many more.
		Costello returns to his musical roots, leaving cozy comfort of theater-sized venues and stages sweaty club in Memphis, Tennessee for a set that rolls his best songs from his 27-year career.

		Elvis Costello (born Declan MacManus in London, August 25, 1954) kicked off his career in 1977 with his classic debut album, My Aim Is True.
		Previously only available as a European import, The Very Best Of Elvis Costello is the first collection to cover his entire career (that is, up through 1999 at least), and, quite frankly, we here at Rhino couldn’t be any prouder to make this 2-CD set available in America for the first time.

	Goodbye Cruel World by Elvis Costello & The Attractions CD
		Elvis Costello & The Attractions: Elvis Costello (vocals, guitar, anvil); Steve Nieve (keyboards, synthesizer); Bruce Thomas (bass); Pete Thomas (drums).
		Critics (and Costello himself) generally regard this as Elvis' worst album, but that's far from true.
		There may be a lack of focus in the production and arrangements, but any album that opens with the pop-soul artistry of "The Only Flame in Town" and closes with the stirring anthem "Peace In Our Time" has plenty going for it.

		When Elvis Costello's first record was released in 1977, his bristling cynicism and anger linked him with the punk and new wave explosion.
		Because he supports his lyrics with his richly diverse music, Costello is one of the most innovative, influential, and best songwriters since Bob Dylan.
		The son of British bandleader Ross McManus, Costello (born Declan McManus) worked as a computer programmer during the early '70s, performing under the name D.P. Costello in various folk clubs.

		Costello returned to the Attractions as quickly as he abandoned them, hiring the band and old producer Nick Lowe to record Blood & Chocolate, his second record in the span of one year.
		Occasionally, there are hints of country and folk, but the majority of the album is straight-ahead rock & roll: the opener, "Uncomplicated," only has two chords.
		The main difference between the reunion and the Attractions' earlier work is the tone -- This Year's Model was tense and out-of-control, where Blood & Chocolate is controlled viciousness.

		The album is rightly credited to Elvis Costello and the Attractions because this is first and foremost a group effort.
		Other Elvis Costello records of note from his amazingly prolific early 80’s period include ARMED FORCES (1979), TRUST (1981) and IMPERIAL BEDROOM (1982).
		The stunning variety and sheer volume of quality song output during this short period is surpassed by only a handful of groups in rock history.

	Trust: Deluxe Edition by Elvis Costello & The Attractions CD
		While many of the songs are rooted in the sound Costello had established on previous albums, several point toward a more sophisticated approach to song structure, departing from the rockist mentality that prevailed in his work up to that point.
		The elliptical, synth-colored "New Lace Sleeves" could have come off ARMED FORCES, as could the elegant, midtempo "You'll Never Be a Man." Songs such as "Big Sister's Clothes" and the sinister, piano-led "Shot With His Own Gun" point towards the future, though, with their unusual harmonic twists and turns.
		Rolling Stone (10/2/03, p.122) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Costello's most musically ambitious effort to date....[sets] the stage for the moodier soundscapes to come on IMPERIAL BEDROOM..."
